I am setting a virtual page tracking ga js in order to capture a form submission, and track the conversion.
I have been following instructions on how to do it:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/events
I've written the snippet:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('set', 'page', '/contacto-pergola.html');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
Right before the ADWORDS conversion snippet.
I have registered a new goal containing:
Goal Setup: custom
Goal Type: Destination
equals to: /contacto-pergola
However after I load the destination page which should trigger the virtual page sent:

Analytics doesn't track anything.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

I am trying to implement a Google Analytics user-level custom dimension on a site.
I have read here that the code to do this looks something like this:
ga('set', 'dimension2', value );
If I include that script in page X, will the hit for page X's page-view include that dimension/value? Or will it only apply to future hits that that user initiates?
Since you're setting a user level scoped CD, it will apply to all previous hits in the session as well.
I'd recommend you do the ga('set') before you perform ga('send'), this way you utilize the pageview hit to set this CD, not the next hit.
Edit:
Your regular implementation looks like this:
<!-- Google Analytics -->
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');
ga('set', ...); //do you sets here
ga('send', 'pageview'); //this is the send
</script>
<!-- End Google Analytics -->
Alternatively, you can just run this and just do "set" and "send" separately, though you'd want to execute the set/send very close to when you load the page:
<!-- Google Analytics -->
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
**//removed ga(send) stuff**
</script>
<!-- End Google Analytics -->
To verify, use dev tools, look at your networks tab. Search/filter for "collect" you'll see the calls made to GA. Look for the parameters for the call, specificall cd1, cd2, cd3 etc...look for the cd# that's the same index as the cd you've set. Verify the data there is correct.
I wonder why GA is tracking this link:
/de/shop/pizza.html?tx_pizza_basket[action]=addToCart&tx_pizza_basket[controller]=Basket&cHash=fae9b7812f842f543hgf0ac374e9a978ca0
This URL (domain is removed here so it's not the full path) opens the basket with some pizzas added to it :)
I wonder why GA is tracking this exact path and how to stop GA from tracking this sort of form submit URLs.
Here is my GA Code:
# JavaScript für Google Analytics
temp.google.analytics = TEXT
temp.google.analytics.value (
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-87654123-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
)

By default, Google Analytics records the value of document.location.href when it is executed. If you don't wish to record the URL parameters for this page, you have 2 options:
Create a set of advanced filters for the reporting view that excludes parameters tx_pizza_basket[action] and tx_pizza_basket[controller]. Additionally set your view's Exclude URL Parameters setting to include cHash
For this particular page, change ga('send', 'pageview') to ga('send','pageview', document.location.pathname)
I'm trying to use Google Analytic's custom dimensions to do some a/b testing, but nothing shows up in the reports. Here's what I did:
Created a custom dimension:
Index: 1
Scope: Session
Active: checked
Then I modified my GA code to look like this:
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-9541894-2', 'auto');
ga('set', 'dimension1', 'a' );
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
When I turn on Analytics inspector, I see that it is sending my custom dimension value. But I never see anything in the reporting. I even waited a day to see if it took time to process. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks!
You should use secondary dimension
You can look that web site.
https://davidsimpson.me/2014/04/20/tutorial-send-user-ids-google-analytics/
i have the following GA code added to my website
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-67265472-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
I created a different property to filter my own ip address from being tracked in Google analytics. The only difference in the tracking code is the below
ga('create', 'UA-67265472-2', 'auto');
Can i simply append this code to the end of the existing GA code or would i need to copy the entire new tracking code into the webpage.
Thanks in advance for your replies
You do not need to include the part that loads the analytics.js file multile times.
However if you simply call create with a different account id a second time you will overwrite the existing tracker and all call will be logged to the second account id.
If you need multiple trackers per page you need to create a named tracker, and send a second pageview call (and events etc.) there:
ga('create', 'UA-67265472-2', 'auto' , 'myTrackerName');
ga('myTrackerName.send', 'pageview');
You can this after your existing code:
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
// default tracker
ga('create', 'UA-67265472-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
// custom name
ga('create', 'UA-67265472-2', 'auto' , 'myTrackerName');
ga('myTrackerName.send', 'pageview');
</script>
To add to the contribution of Eike Pierstorff. When using multiple trackers, it is recommended to start using Google Tag Manager. This will make tracking with multiple trackers much easier.
Especially when you want to track events, custom dimensions, virtual pageviews, ecommerce, etc.
This is my first question on Stackoverflow. So apologies if I make a mistake...
The challenge: I have a website (main.com), a sub-domain (sub.main.com) and 10 websites that send traffic, back and forth, to the main site and the sub domain. Let's call these sites site01.com, site02.com, site03.com,...,site10.com.
My question: How do I implement Universal Tag so I can do cross-domain tracking between main.com, sub.main.com and site01.com, site02.com, site03.com,...,site10.com.
I found instructions on how to do cross domain tracking for two sites. For example, on the main domain I will add the following code:
**<!-- Universal Analytics -->
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-X', 'main.com', {'allowLinker': true});
ga('require', 'linker');
ga('linker:autoLink', ['site01.com']);
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>**
And on site01.com, I will add the code below:
**<!-- Universal Analytics -->
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'site01.com',{'allowLinker': true});
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>**
I don't know how to modify the code to include all 10 sites (site01.com, site02.com, site03.com,...,site10.com as part of the cross domain tracking.
Also, in relation to sub-domain tracking, I am guessing that the above code will also capture data from the sub-domain site (sub.main.com) with no issues.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Stratos.
You need to add the linker plugin to all of your sites, otherwise you only track visitors starting at the main domain and from there navigating to your subsites. The other way around (originates from site01.com and browses to your main site) would generate a new clientId.
Example (same for all of your sites):
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X', 'auto', {
'allowLinker': true
});
ga('send', 'pageview');
// Load the linker plugin and define
// which domains to autoLink.
ga('require', 'linker');
// NOTE: add all your sites here. you can include the
// the site the code is at too if you want to use the
// same array of sites for all of your sites (ie,
// include this from some shared file)
ga('linker:autoLink', ['main.com', 'site01.com', 'site02.com', 'site03.com']);
Use for example the Google Analytics Debugger extension to Chrome to verify that you get the same clientId.
NOTE: You need to click on an achor-link to the other sites for the autoLinker to work, just typing in the URL in your browser won't work.
For implementing this on forms too pass true as a fourth parameter to the ga('linker:autoLink')-call above (ref: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cross-domain#autoforms).
